4.2.2 OTHER IMAGE OPTIONS

Binarization This is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. Two of the options are Dynamic Threshold and Fixed Processing.

Dynamic Threshold: Selecting Dynamic Threshold allows the scanner to dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This is used to scan mixed document containing faint text, shaded background, or color background with a single setting. If Dynamic Threshold is selected, Threshold, Brightness, and Contrast are not available. Fixed Processing: Used for black-and-white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed Processing sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.

Quality When you choose “Gray” to be your image type, the “Binarization” item will be changed to “Quality” and its option includes “High” and “Normal”. Choose “High” to enhance your image and make your image look brighter.

4-9

Threshold Used to convert a grayscale image to a

bi-tonal image. The value ranges from 0 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images. Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting.

200 dpi, Threshold:80, Brightness: 0

200 dpi, Threshold:170, Brightness: 0

4-10

Brightness Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the brightness. The range is from –100 to +100.

Contrast Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The higher the contrast, the bigger the different grayscale. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the contrast. The range is from –100 to +100.

Brightness: -50 Brightness: 0

(Normal) Brightness: +50

Contrast: -50 Contrast: 0

(Normal) Contrast: +50

4-11

Resolution A good control of the resolution results a

good detail of an image that scans. The resolution is measured by dots per inch (dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number, the higher the resolution and the image file size. Be aware that greater resolution takes more time to scan, and more disk space for the scanning image. For your information, an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi at True Color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher resolution (usually means over 600 dpi) is only recommended when you need to scan a small area at True Color mode.

Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default value is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150, 200,300, 400 and 600. Or you may choose your desired value by clicking the box in the right side of the drop down list and press the arrow key to select your desired value and then click the Add button to include it in the drop down list.

Resolution: 75 dpi

Resolution: 150 dpi

4-12

Invert Reverses the brightness and the colors in the

image. The default setting is Black on a White background. Reverse mode is White on a Black background. For color images, each pixel will be changed into its complementary color at the command of Invert.

Scan Source

Choice: Auto Document Feeder: Used to scan multiple pages. Flatbed: Used to scan a single page. For example, pages from newspaper clipping, paper with wrinkles or curls. Flatbed (book): Used to scan several inside pages from book. Automatic: Allow the scanner automatically set its scan source. If Automatic is selected and there is document in both the auto document feeder (ADF) and the flatbed, then the scan source will be automatically set to ADF. If Automatic is selected and there is document only in flatbed, then the scan source will be set to flatbed. Note the options vary based on type of scanner.

4.3 THE COMPRESSION TAB

The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the greater the compression level, the lower image quality. Default is 50%.

Note that the compression depends on your image editing application. If your image editing application does not support the type of compression format, then either a warning message will appear or the image quality of the compressed file will not be acceptable. JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group). This group developed and lent their name to a file compression standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this standard.

For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions are available:

None JPEG

For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are available:

None G4

Batch Scan Setting

Batch Scan To increase the scanning speed, the scanner first scans a few pages of your document and then sends these scanning data to the application. Therefore, during scanning, the numbers of pages been scanned on the scanner is somehow different with the numbers of pages displayed on your computer screen. Choose this mode if you wish to complete your scanning task at the fastest speed.

Page Scan If you choose Page Scan, during scanning, the scanner will first scan only one page of your document and then send the scanned data to the application and then scan the next page and send the next data to the application, and so on. Therefore, in this mode, the scanning speed is slower yet this helps to keep the same scanning progress between the scanner and your computer screen.

Note: The availability of this feature varies based on type of scanner.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have problems with the operation of your scanner, please check the following troubleshooting hints.

8.1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: When the scanner is powered on, it makes

noises and won’t stand ready.

Answer: There are two possibilities:

1) You might fail to push the scanner shipping

lock to its “use” position. If this is the case, pull

the scanner status switch to its “use” position

first.

2) The scanner is not placed on an even, flat

desktop surface. This may cause the scanner to

malfunction.

Question: The scanner is powered on, but the lamp does

not light up.

Answer: The lamp is probably out of order. Contact your

local dealer or distributor to replace the lamp.

For your information, the average life time of the

lamp is about 15,000 hours and the operating

temperature for the scanner is between

10°C(50°F) and 40°C(104°F).

8-2

Question: While scanning, the scanner often makes noises,

or it scans back and forth.

Answer: Usually this means the memory of your computer

is not enough or the speed of your CPU too slow.

Please try to increase your memory to at least

32M or replace your CPU with Pentium or later.

Question: Why is it that the scanned image always

comes out to be too dark?

Answer: 1) Modify the Gamma setting to1.8~2.2 for your

monitor and, when printing, set the Gamma

setting to 2.2 for your printer.

2) Adjust the Brightness setting from the TWAIN

user interface to get a brighter image.

Question: The scanner works well except for the line art

image. The lines in the image seem to be much

thicker than the original one.

Answer: Increase the Brightness or adjust the Threshold

setting to improve line art image.
